Hello,
I have not been here since 2011 so I will post few pipes I have made. I did not make too much effort to take nice pictures and I do not want to spam forum with pics from different angles. Feel free to comment.

You obviously have some skill at design and composition, but you need to work on some details. First and foremost the chunky buttons. Make them thinner! Also fit and finish aren't what I'd expect to see on such nice shapes. Sand thoroughly and make sure all the joints are seamless.

Nice looking pipes for sure.

What Jesse said. Spend some time improving your stems overall.

Hi,
I see your point and agree. So far I use metals as decorative rings and it is still difficult for me to make them even with wood. They heat up quite fast when grinding and can damage wood around. I need to prepare rings in more dateiled manner before sanding shape. Thanks for feedback.
